Abstract:
Objectives:
To initiate field and laboratory studies to quantify the fate, persistence
and effects of imidacloprid and triadimefon in the soil environment following
applications of slow release in white pine plantations of the northern
Great -Lakes St. Lawrence forest region; to monitor the health of white
pine transplants under various slow-release treatment regimes in partial
cuts in a mixed-wood forest of the Great-Lakes St Lawrence forest region
using pulse-amplitude modulated chlorophyll fluorescence; to obtain baseline
data on chlorophyll fluorescence patterns of rare and endangered species
in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence forest region; to complete laboratory
studies quantifying the phytotoxicity of forest-use herbicides to M.
sibiricum, a representative aquatic macrophyte; to complete a literature
review and prepare a journal publication comparing toxicity of forest-use
herbicides to aquatic organisms.
Location:
Temagami and Sundridge
Key Deliverables:
Journal Articles- Effects of forestry management herbicides on non-target
aquatic organisms; accumulation dynamics of triclopyrester in leaf packs
and effects on detritivorous insects; conference proceedings -third international
conference on forest vegetation management.
Expected Benefits:
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network
Other Collaborators:
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario Forest Research Institute
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
Financial support for slow-release tablet soil fate and impact studies-professional
time in support of chlorophyll fluorescence studies, and for year two
of systemic foliar fate study sampling of white pine in Temagami and Sundridge
